FRAME ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
SQUARE THE ASSEMBLED FRAME
Gather the parts: Measuring tape and Tek screws
Complete these steps:
1. Square the frame by measuring diagonally corner-
to-corner and align all rafters as shown in the next
diagram.
2. Verify that the width of each rafter is 26' center-to-
center. The frame is square when the two diagonal
measurements are the same. See previous diagram.
3. Continue by anchoring the frame.
ANCHOR THE FRAME
Once the frame is anchored properly, continue with these
instructions.
WARNING
: Securing the rafter mounting feet (if
equipped) to baseboards set on the site is not a
substitute for properly anchoring the shelter. You must
anchor the shelter as described in the MUST READ
document.
FAILING TO PROPERLY ANCHOR THE SHELTER
WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SHELTER AND
MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
READ THE MUST READ DOCUMENT TO PROPERLY
ANCHOR THE SHELTER.
Example below shows an auger style earth anchor and
turnbuckle attached to a similar frame.
2. Remove the bolts and attach a strut between the band
clamp on the purlin and the band clamp on the end
rafter. Position the strut so that it forms a triangle as
